HydroponicsGrowing of plants in water instead of soil. To do this
successfully, the water must be enriched with nutrients and sometimes
oxygenated. Also, the plants must be placed in some type of inert medium
like sand or Perlite to anchor the roots. NOTE FROM
WEBMASTER: Growing in water is designed to give you complete
control over quality of flowers, nutrient levels and other factors. It is
however designed for experienced/commercial growers. Growing in SOIL-LESS
MIX (as Happy Girl recommends) is much easier, takes less time to set
up and take down, is far more forgiving when it comes to nutrient levels
and requires no Ph balancing. Also, you can get same results with Soil as
with Hydroponics. The major advantage of Hydroponics systems is the fact
that they are much less involving and labour intensive when used for
commercial purposes. If you're growing in your closet you do not need a
Hydroponics table. If you have a bit of $$$ and are interested in a
top-of-the-line hydroponics table with little maintenance we can show you
some interesting ideas.

Pro-MixHydroponics
Growing Medium, looks, feels and behaves just like soil. Benefits of using
Pro-mix: No need to adjust Ph levels of your tap water.

HID
(High Intensity Discharge Lights) Lights designed to simulated the
spectrum and intensity of sunlight, i.e.. the hydroponics type of light

.

Inline FanAir Blower rated for continuous operation and wet environments,
those made for hydroponics purposes are compact, quiet and easy to
install.

Fluorescent
Lights This type of light is perfect for starts and seedlings
but is a poor light source for growth and budding primarily because of low
lumen output.

.

MH
(Metal Halide) This type of light is blue-orientated in the
spectrum. It's the best type of light to be used as a primary light
source. This type of lamp promotes plant growth.

.

HPS
(High Pressure Sodium) These lamps are red/orange in the
spectrum. They are the best lamps available for secondary or supplemental
lighting (used in conjunction with MH or by themselves). This type of
light is good for vegetative/grow cycle but is used best for flowering
and/or budding (bloom cycle).

.

Grow
(Cycle) The period of time where the plants are exposed to 18
hours of light and 6 hours of darkness. This cycle is to be used before
bloom cycle (explained below) for however long the grower desires the
plants to keep growing bigger and bigger. Once the plants reach the
desired height the cycle should be switched to Bloom (see below).

.

Bloom
(Cycle) The period of time where the plants are exposed to 12
hours of light and 12 hours of darkness. This will tell your plants to
produce flowers and/or buds. This cycle will end in harvest. NOTE: 12 hrs.
of darkness means complete darkness (for better flower production)
